Clear the second season then race the hatchback event. If you raced the hatchback event before doing so, you may not perform this trick correctly.
After you clear the second season buy a Civic TypeR 02 and fully modify the car. Race the hatchback event and come in first.
HOW TO GET THE SPECIAL PRIZE
It seems to me that very few people know how to accquire the special prizes in the EVENT racesseasons 1 and 2.All that is required is for you to gain 3 or more places ON THE LAST LAP i.e if you are 4th on the penultimate lap you need to finish first to recieve the special prize. As most of the races in event mode are 2 laps all you need to do is to cross the line in 4th on the first lap and make it up to first to recieve the special prize. This is usually best achieved by entering a fast carone that u can easily win with and holding up the rest of the opponents, so that they are bunched together, making sure u cross the line in 4th or lower. As they are close together it should make it easier to pass them
Hints 101
Try not to get discouraged when taking the license test, believe me I know your pain. It took me 50 tries to get my B license. When doing a test try to follow the tire marks on the road they will show you the most efficient route.
The Pougoet can get you all the way to stage 3 with full upgrades. Then I would recommend getting a Integra Type-R or a Mazda RX-7.
Don't save your money for the big expensive cars at first. Use the money to upgrade the cars you have now. The supercars in this game are very hard to drive just like in real life. Plus the games adjusts the difficulty in many, but not all races to compensate.
When up grading cars don't just go for the big horse power. There are other important things like suspension, brakes, and tires that you should be upgraded.
Only upgrade cars that you know you are going to use a lot.
Keep a careful eye on the condition of your parts, stay on top of them, otherwise you will find your self overhauling your parts rather then spending your money on that brand new turbo, or racing tires.
CASH
Simple you simple win the ALfa Romeo Tipo 33/2 STardale. At Dancing Horizon Cup Sun Orchard Park - Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/2 Stradale. Once you get it you can sell it from 327,000 to 600,000 dollars. Notice the higher the price the longer it takes to sale
Hint: Nitrous
To get the nitrous from the used parts shop, you will have to lose at the drag races on a day ending with "5". For example, 305,15, etc. Return to the screen for the parts shop after the drag race. It will now be 306,16,etc. There will be a question mark at the end of all the parts, after the turbos. If your car has a turbo or if it does not appear, get out then go back in and it should appear.
Hint: Easy Money
Unlock the GT40 Concept car from the Season 1 Official Races. You can buy it for 150,000 then sell it for 185,000 to 195,000. It only takes about one or two game days to sell it, for a 35,000 to 45,000 profit.
Free parts
As long as you have the exact same amount of money for an item you will not be charged for it and will keep your money. this will not work for cars however.
Quick start
Get a six gear car. Top it out with the maximum HP, ten test it out in the Sega Drag race. Make sure you get your car in a Manual Transmission. Start out with sixth gear, and accelerate just before the last second. When you go up to 40 mph, shift down to third and make your way up the gears.
